Texas Home Owners Can Power With Fuel Cells

The Hunt family, Texas real estate developers, are offering home buyers the
option to power their homes with fuel cells rather than electricity from
traditional utilities in the 500 homes they are building each year through
2013. A $6,000 investment buys a fuel-cell generator (using natural gas or
propane), which can produce electricity for less than what the local utility
charges. “Our studies show,” says Oklahoma Gas & Electric’s Jack Phipps, “that
if you can get to a thousand units manufactured, you’ll get your costs down to
where they can compete with local electricity prices in areas where gas is
relatively cheap and power is relatively expensive.”
